Your new woke military.
Make no mistake this is the first of many.
The Air Force has discharged 27 airmen for refusing the COVID jab.
Officials believe these are the first service members to be removed for disobeying the mandate to get the shots.
However, thousands remain unvaccinated.
An Air Force spokesman tells Politico that these are the first airmen to be administratively discharged for reasons involving the vaccine.
The spokesman said all of them were in their first term of enlistment, so they were younger, lower-ranking personnel.
None of the 27 sought any type of exemption, medical, administrative or religious.
According to the latest Air Force data, more than 1,000 airmen have refused the shot and more than 4,700 are seeking a religious exemption.
